The legs could probably use some scaling to fit better. I rigged them to the collar bones so they would move a little, but it's obviously not ideal. Use with "Dragon Animation Replace" to make them stand a little straighter and reduce some of the clipping.
The legs aren't rigged at all and there's something funky going on with the rest of the mesh. The description says it's a rough model and yeah, it should be treated as a concept/example as-is.
Dumb, right? It's like arguing that a tortoise isn't a type of turtle (it is). 'Dragon' is an incredibly large classification that even includes various seamonsters and chimerae (and the chimerae specifically are where the fire-breathing comes from). Just because it's specifically a wyvern doesn't make it any less a dragon. Good work on a four-legged one tho OP!
Yeah but when you hear Dragon, you imagine it with wings and four legs, well, most people do anyways I guess. And while Wyverns are Dragons they're still not Dragon Dragons. All jokes aside, Dragon age series nailed Dragons and you can't change my mind.
Well, if i'm create a world, and in this world i create a monster whose is basicaly a very very huge Kobra who spit fire and i name it dragon.... well this is the 'Dragon' of this world.
Ya'll know the Trojan Cetus is a dragon, right? And so are hydra and the sea monster that Perseus slew? Dragon is just as wide as serpent is for classification. In fact the two words mean basically the same damn thing in Greek and can be used interchangably. You *can* use it to refer specifically to the classical four legged variety that are probably based off of chimerae, but like. You're just splitting hairs by insisting that it *has to* be a classical dragon to be a 'dragon'. A wyvern design works just fine for them, since it'd still be a serpent. Wyrms are also dragons. And those wouldn't have limbs at all!
Whatever about technical classifications, tell me combat against 4 legged dragons isn't more dangerous/ interesting. Elden ring has them grabbing lightning from the sky and smacking you around with it. The dragons in this game are not only wyvers, they're the laziest attempt at dragons bethesda could've made.
"Yeah but when you hear Dragon, you imagine it with wings and four legs, well, most people do anyways I guess." That's a VERY western-centric worldview.
If they were real, Dragon (Draconus?) would be an Order, under the Class Reptilia. It's a wide group including Wyrms, Wyvern, Western 4-legs, etc. Everyone is arguing that a frog is not a snake is not a crocodile, which is obvious... but they're ALL in the Class Reptilia. "Dragon" is not a Species.

"I've heard of you,Mortal. They called you Dragonborn,They've singed so much about you...That you saved many lives,Bring an end to war,Lead many groups to their goals and be their leaders,Slain that bloodsucker fiend and stop the corrupted like of you but most importantly,You defeated Alduin. Let me see if those legend of you were true,But I gotta warn ya something,I ain't like those,I am on different level. I am true and mighty Dragon,Compared to those kids. Would you being worthy to carried such title as Dovahkiin? Come at me,Mortal!"
Sry,Just being high for a moment but this thing come out of my mind when seeing this.
In my humble opinion though, Western style dragons tend to be something of a T-Rex with wings. massive dog like legs and much smaller arms not capable of effective quadruped movements. On the other hand Eastern style (serpent) dragons were a much different beast all together using their bodies to slither through the air.
You were right, i stumbled upon a black dragon with arms, thank you so much for this, it works pretty well. i'm going to update this and see if i can get permission from 184gesu to make it.

But I suppose that anybody who can pull off a complete four-legged dragon mod would find the modelling itself relatively trivial.
EDIT: Oh, Outfit Studio. The front legs do show up in there. Now that is weird. Probably because they don't have any associated bones.
Nice work, good luck for finding a animator.

No matter how many legs they have.
In Thailand,Here,We have our dragon which have no legs but still,They're considered to be dragon.
But it's a matter of belief,I think.
